Ann. . 671 THE SUN. sOLIPA QUis n4Otllll V*L*UM Atl.l3tAT LONDON, TUESDAY, yEvitu R Y 14, 18 09', The Algesiras, a new 74-gun Ship, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, .with Don PROIIO CEVALLOS I the Spanish Minister, on board. He was received with every mark of reapen. The intelligetice which sive yesterday received from Falmouth, is confirmed hy the Following Proclama tion, which was issued at Cadiz o►r the 30th ult.: " The Junta of the Province of Catalonia officially' makes known, that the army under the command of the Marquis of LAZON, with the troops of Arragon and Somatenes, under the command of General CI:411O, have, by theirnuited effttts, dislodged the French from their position, and compelled them to' retreat to Fit ueras and Itosas, :after taking a large 'quantity of provisions, ammunition,, and many pri soners. They afierwarth posted themselves SO as to' deprive the Enemy a '1°1(116g :tiny - conimunication either with themselves.as dispersed & or with France. The army of General llepimo was assembled at Tarragona after its last retreat.. It is now compoied of a 4,090 men, in which are cOmprized a regiment of Swiss; lately arrived from Mallorca, and 3000 men from Valencia. " This intelligence is given to the public by order or the Supreme Government, dated Cadiz, 30th January, 1899." . . . We have this day made some further extraCts from the Spanish Papers. Wq are happy to learn that the Marquis de ROMANh has etielfted, his retreat from Gallicia, and has reached Chaves in Portugal. An Opposition Paper, Averting to our attempt - to gain possession of Buenps Ayres, says a we went to South America in the ciiaraaer of Plunderers, attcl we were punished for our rapacity. Had we gone as „Deliverers and- Bencfabiors, the two countries wouldlong before this time have been. conneeted by ties 'of the closest intercourse." Nothing can be more weak, as well as illiberal,- than this passage.— Whenwe attempted to conquer a part of the Spanish Settlements in America, we were at war with the Mo ther Country,and we had surely a right to endeavour to obtain what we could from her ; on the admitted • r principles of w a r f are . -- But'in fad . we were endea vouring to., obtain what, if the views of &JONA.. PARTS, the bitterest and most formidable Emmy thi s Country ever had to encounter, had been accomplish ed, would perhaps have - been added to the enormous extent of his dominions. We had therefore a double rnetive for attempting to secure as much as we could of the Spanish Settlements in America for ourselves . But if we - bad gone; as the Paper, alluded to says, ‘‘ as deliverers and benetaaors," that is to induce the Spanish Colonies to throw off their allegiance to the - Mother Country, and' establish independence, we should have been equally. exposed to the censure of, the Opposition Writers, who would have accused G,oVernment of adopting the revolutionary pa . - licy of France, and of giving a sanetion to rebellion in the 'dependencies of. all other. States; though, considering the wretched subserviency of Spain to France, and the unappeasable enmity of the latter towards Great Britain, we should have been fully justified in promoting - the independence of the Spa nish Settlements, rather than suffer them to have been in any danger °flailing into the hands of Beo- , NAPARTE. We are told in the same Paper, of the difficulty, .if not impraCticability,. of effeCting the conquest of South America-; but does it appear that Administration have any views of such a nature ? Nu i it will be our best pone) , now to secure the friendship of .that Country, at all events, and pro mote its independence, it after all it should be found impossible to preserve Spain for its legitimate Mo naich. So that all the long-winded reasoning, and admonitory counsels of the Opposition Paper are bounded in erroneous principles, visionary specula tions, and a determination to censure Ministers, as to whatever they may really intend, or whatever may be totally out of their contemplation. The utmost attention has been paid to the accom modation and comfort of our troops 'lately returned from Spain, at Portsmouth and Plymouth, and the several, branches of the Naval 'department, at and hear both these • places, have exerted themselves en the occasion, in a manner that reeds the highest credit upon them. The curiosity to see Mrs. CLARKE drew a number of persons to the avenues and round the House of Commons yesterday afternoon. A few moments after six she arrived, and her chariot was immedi ately surrounded 'by at least too persons. - At first she appeared alarmed, on letting down the glass, but after retraining in the carriage about five mi nutes, she - spoke to the footman at the door, and immediately descended. from it, followed by a female companion. Some of the persons present very in decorously huzzaed her as she passed. A Meeting of the'Rotuan Catholics of Dublin took place on the 4th inst. in that city.

Tuc THEATan..—Tlie part of Sir Peter Teazle was last night performedat Drury Lane Theatre, by Mr. RILEY, 'an aCier of much provincial fame.

At Union-Hall, yesterday, -a further examination took place as to the murder of Lieut.

Two hUndred pounds are now offered for the discovery and con vidion of the guilty parties. A few days ago a man named Lauder was appre hended at Dundee for street-begging.
